The trouble was, on this occasion, I was also providing updates on the match for United’s official Twitter account and had forgotten to log out and switch profiles on the day afterwards, when following Guruzeta as planned.<\/p>\n
The realisation that I had added a rival player to the Reds’ list of pretty exclusive names the club were following caused the colour to drain from my face and a shiver to run down my spine. Even though it had only been a matter of about half an hour or so, I am fully aware of the fuss a simple error of judgement like this can cause. I quickly dreaded speculative transfer stories claiming United were now chasing the signature of the Basque youngster popping up all over the web.<\/p>\n
A panicked call to the communications department to own up to the mistake was followed by a nervous wait to see if this could have been yet another excuse to add to the never-ending rumour mill concerning the Reds and potential new signings.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, I got away with it. The centre-forward, who had played with levels of aggression and commitment that really impressed, would only be followed on my personal account, going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The trouble was, on this occasion, I was also providing updates on the match for United’s official Twitter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[39581,748,393,1592,4884,18,2465,12,391,20,16,15,21],"class_list":{"0":"post-84403","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-2025_05_08_old_trafford_manchester","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-first-team","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-like","14":"tag-manchester","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-opinion","17":"tag-search","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-united-now"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114471823427494346","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
